Look for the ATOL logo in adverts and brochures.

If you can’t see an ATOL number or logo, either check with the CAA by telephone whether the firm has an ATOL, or visit the ATOL website.

Travel agents often sell for a range of ATOL holders. If you book through an agent, ask which ATOL holder will appear on your ATOL Receipt. Don’t book if the agent won’t tell you.

If you buy an air package from an agent that isn’t from an ATOL-holder’s brochure, ask whether all the items you book will be on the ATOL Receipt – if a hotel or car hire is receipted separately, it won’t be ATOL protected.
